Some of the most common orthopedic surgeries are:

Arthroscopy – This allows for a joint’s internal structure to be examined, and is used for diagnosis or to determine if more treatment is needed. Small incisions and a monitor are used.

Bone graft substitution – This procedure uses a bone graft that is shaped to the area and secured with pins, plates, or screws. It is used for injuries affecting the knees, hips, arms, and legs.

Cartilage repair or removal – There are many different ways to repair damaged cartilage. In some cases, the patient’s cells are used to grow new cartilage. Other methods involve promoting bleeding in the area to stimulate growth. In some cases, damaged cartilage is removed.
